Historia
This new book from Zen teacher, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and critical favorite, Barry Magid, inspires us to outgrow the impossible pursuit of happiness, and instead make peace with the perfection of the way things are. Including ourselves! Using wryly gentle prose, Magid invites readers to consider the notion that our certainty that we are broken may be turning our pursuit of happiness into a source of more suffering.

A very good life guide
Revisado: 10-10-20
I loved this book! You must read if you struggling with your life. I sometimes think I need to be fixed, I am broken, but this book told me that like let it be. I can be broken.
I am read quite many books and tried to fix myself. It's kind a western thinking that you must be something, need to be winner of life. The truth is you no need to be anything and no become anything. Everything what you have is in the moment.
There's beautiful word, a present, it means gift and now ( this moment). What we have just now is a present moment, a gift moment... That is all what we have and it's enough. Like Osho said be, not become. But this book is one of my favourite book. If you feel you are lost in your life and struggling with your life, read this. Thank you for the author. Don't fix it, let it be.

Historia
This best-selling guide sends a simple but profound message: Avoid the trap of negative thinking, and master the art of self-actualization. Self-actualization is the ability to cut through the psychological limitations you place on yourself, break free of the past, and eliminate guilt in order to become who and what you really can be. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has achieved greatness both in his field and in his personal life, and now he shares his methods for achieving everything he ever wanted.

Historia
Built To Last, the defining management study of the 90s, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the very beginning. But what about companies that are not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?

And if I put what Tony Montana said, if you find the right woman it will lead you straight to the top. He said something like that.. Not exactly so but right people, right woman in your bus.. And lots of other gems waiting for you if you read this book.
“Okay, here’s the story. I come from the gutter. I know that. I got no education but that’s okay. I know the street, and I’m making all the right connections. With the right woman, there’s no stopping me. I could go right to the top.” Tony Montana Scarface

Historia
In The Happiness Track, Emma Seppala, the science director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University, explains that our inability to achieve sustainable fulfillment is tied to common but outdated notions about success. We are taught that getting ahead means doing everything that's thrown at us (and then some) with razor-sharp focus and iron discipline; that success depends on our drive and talents.

Durant lucidly describes the philosophical systems of such world-famous “monarchs of the mind” as Plato, Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Spinoza, Kant, Voltaire, and Nietzsche. Along with their ideas, he offers their flesh-and-blood biographies, placing their thoughts within their own time and place and elucidating their influence on our modern intellectual heritage. This book is packed with wisdom and wit.

If you want know what is philosophy start your journey with this book. I truly recommended that. It opens your eyes. I think I drink so much wisdom and I get more aware of my life, so if you are younger than me, you should study this book. I only hope that I were read this when I were younger.

Low-life writer and unrepentant alcoholic Henry Chinaski was born to survive. After decades of slacking off at low-paying dead-end jobs, blowing his cash on booze and women, and scrimping by in flea-bitten apartments, Chinaski sees his poetic star rising at last. Now, at 50, he is reveling in his sudden rock-star life, running three hundred hangovers a year, and maintaining a sex life that would cripple Casanova.

The one of the most important book which I ever had read. It's an eye opener which tells you the most important thing in your life, it is women, and also life itself.
When I started to read in English, I found masterpieces like this opens me in beautiful way. Very good listening this. It's must read, must listen. Trust me, your entire life will change when you drink this. Bukowski is the best, and this is the masterpiece. Read it immediately, or you will regret..

Historia
Alan W. Watts' "message for an age of anxiety" is as powerful today as it was when this modern classic was first published. We spend too much time trying to anticipate and plan for the future, too much time lamenting the past. We often miss the pleasures of the moment in our anxious efforts to ensure the next moment is as enjoyable. Drawing from Eastern philosophy and religion, Watts argues that it is only by acknowledging what we do not and cannot know that we can find something truly worth knowing.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.
